What sometimes seems worse to me is that you are correct. What is wrong with the world when people fall for some of these ridiculous spam products. I guess 'Snake Oil' salesmen have been around forever, but geez, can the population of the planet increase it's intelligence over time? I know nature takes the path of least resistance, but come on, even if there was an Enlargement Pill, it sure as hell wouldn't sell for $49.95 or even $499.95 - arrrrg.
if i was correct before why would this seem silly to the judge? loophole? how is it a loophole? does the USPS scan every mail going through it's buildings for copies of music? it seems to me that kazaa was just speeding up the process.
Maybe I read your post wrong, but I just thought I would point out.. .

The card game Predator? Now this was fun, it had violence (the bear could eat the fish, or something like that), education (simple teaching about what animals eat), and entertainment (Nothing like slamming somebody's high level predator with good ol ' DEATH and DECAY).
What year? I thought the manual override on BMW's was the inside door handle itself. My 95 M3 does this as does my 03 X5 (though I've never had a power failure).
Unfortuneatley if Linus was used as the OS, gas prices would triple due to the initiation of a Congressionally approved TAX. Also Known as the Smoot-McBride Act
Are you kidding, that happens to be the utmost expensive method of organization, and can possibly result in bankruptcy, loss of homestead, loss of vehicle, and loss of SANITY. Known as "halfs syndrome" as in 'they take half!'
Not to mention the cost of support for all of the little 'consequence' running around.
So there is a paper reciept, who says whats in the computer AND on paper isn't an error. How do you know that the machine didn't generate a false vote with a corresponding false reciept?
I posted this earlier, but it was as a reply to my own post, I thought it might be more useful here, with this heading.
Here is a california law about WMD's and electronic threats (Anthrax is a Biological agent, so I beleieve it's covered here)
California Penal Code 11418.5 Threat to use weapon of mass destruction
11418.5. (a) Any person who knowingly threatens to use a weapon of mass destruction, with the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in writing, or by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a threat, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out, which, on its face and under the circumstances in which it is made, is so unequivocal, immediate, and specific as to convey to the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and thereby causes that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own safety, or for his or her immediate family's safety, which results in an isolation, quarantine, or decontamination effort, shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year or in the state prison for 3, 4, or 6 years, or by a fine of not more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment.
(b) For the purposes of this section, "sustained fear" can be established by, but is not limited to, conduct such as evacuation of any building by any occupant, evacuation of any school by any employee or student, evacuation of any home by any resident or occupant, or any other action taken in direct response to the threat to use a weapon of mass destruction.
(c) The fact that the person who allegedly violated this section did not actually possess a biological agent, toxin, or chemical weapon does not constitute a defense to the crime specified in this section.
(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent punishment instead pursuant to any other provision of law that imposes a greater or more severe punishment.

what this guy did was make a Terroristic Threat. Several states have begun enacting legislation aimed at stopping these kinds of actions, especially in the wake of 9/11.
